I want to change all of my rubber vac lines to silicon and maybe go non-sequential on the turbs. Does anyone know where I could get this done?

Thanks

I would do it myself but I ten to break things when I work on my car and this seems like it would be a very frustrating project.

Netter let someone else have the headaches.

If you go about it methodically & slowly, you can swap all of your hoses in pretty short order.

I did a sequential to parallel switch on my supra, and it took about 20 minutes. The rx7 setup is probably a bit different, but the supra setup involved wiring open both the intake air control valve & the exhaust control valve.

rx7 is alot alike although the turbos are diff. not all of the vac lines are accessable with out removing pipeing. still not a bad job . if you try yourself and get stumped let me know i have a little free time

I have heard it is extremely hard from other 7 owners. The rats nest solenoids are extremely fragile and take a lot of patience which I do not have.

I'll do it for you - $100/hr.

all of the solenoids are like any other, just have to be careful when you take the lines off so not to break them,same as any. just a little twist on the line before you pull, and if they are really stiff a small set of needle nose pliers to twist works good. just make sure when you twist, your straight with the plastic nipple.same when you pull.
